We have two full days and there is a lot of ground to cover. There will be sessions covering the four main areas of work related to Equinox:

# '''Provisioning''' The provisioning team has made some very real progress but there is lots left to do.

# '''Tooling''' Technically speaking the Equinox project does not do tooling but we would be lost without PDE and all the power it brings developers. It is vital that the technologies we talk about creating have a decent chance of being tooled.

The Eclipse Foundation and the Equinox project team are hosting an Equinox Summit in Ottawa at the Minto Suites Hotel from Sept 25-26, 2007. This event is modeled after and co-located with the very successful CDT summits. (To be clear, the CDT Summit is 3 days, the Equinox Summit is 2).

Registration

This summit is not a mini conference. Attendees should be prepared to present their points of view on the various themes and describe where they see themselves interacting, contributing and cooperating in Equinox and PDE. Space is limited so preference will be given to committers and new people looking to contribute. Writing a short positioning paper outlining your usecases, requirements and potential contributions really helps.

Hotel Info

Summit rate is $155/night for a 1 bedroom suite with full kitchen – can get 1 queen bed or 2 double beds. In-suite Internet access is $9.95/day. Free internet access will be available in the conference room during the day.
